The American Physical Therapy Association (APTA) supports the concepts of continued competence, lifelong learning, and ongoing professional development. Physical therapists are obligated to participate in professional development to ensure continued competence through the acquisition and maintenance of acceptable standards of practice, to strive toward the achievement of advanced knowledge, skills, and abilities for excellence in practice, and to support and advance the profession. That's why the Physical Therapy Program at Oakland University's School of Health Sciences offers a variety of continuing education courses for physical therapists.
